Yes, I had two JFS volumes. See the attached output from LVM,
which I made the last time I had problems with this drive. My
goal then, and remains now, was to have Windows 2000 and eCS
co-exist in peace, with one volume that could be seen by both
OSes for data shared in common. I'm beginning to think that that
would best be achieved with two IDE HDDs, with only one OS per
drive, but that's not possible right now.

I would like to keep the data on the JFS volumes if possible. I
have an external USB 80GB HDD which I can use for backups if
need be. Right now I have no working copies of OS/2 nor eCS on
the hard drive, but can boot from both the eCS 1.0 and 1.2 CDs.

Thanks,
John
